Brass Destruction Policy Reversed! Kudo's to Gary Marbut of Montana.

Barack just blinked!

Folks,

The Obamanoids just blinked! Here's two links provided me by Admiral Ahab, who claims credit for the NRA on this one. I rather think that since it was Gary Marbut of the Montana Shooting Sports Association who was on this like a duck on a june bug last week and also as it was his two senators who sent this letter to DLA,

that I'm going to give Gary the lion's share of the credit on this one.

If the Lairds of Fairfax did stir their stumps to actually do something on this, it will be the first time since Obama won the election. I guess we can give 'em credit for that. Of course all you Threepers and JPFOers who were pouring it on since last week didn't hurt either. Here is the JPFO announcement:

Exposing the GovCrims pays off

Great news! It appears the destruction of military once fired brass has ended with a reversal of DoD policy.

Who says complaining does not pay off? (Refer back to last alert).

Please read the latest from the MSSA.........

Dear MSSA Friends,

I just received a phone call from the office of U.S. Senator Tester of Montana to inform me that at 5:15 (EST) today a letter cosigned by Senator Tester (D-MT) and Senator Baucus (D-MT) was faxed to the Department of Defense asking DoD to reverse its new policy requiring destruction of fired military cartridge brass. At 5:30, I am told, Tester's office received a fax back from DoD saying that the brass destruction policy IS reversed.

Others report to me that they are already seeing evidence of this on the Websites of entities that liquidate surplus DoD commodities.

Our thanks go out to Senator Tester and Senator Baucus, and their staff, for getting on this problem promptly and making the reversal happen.

Staff for Tester and Baucus promise they will get me the documentation for this reversal tomorrow morning. I'll forward that when I get it.

Best wishes,
Gary Marbut, president

My thanks to the dweeze for first giving me a heads up on this, and thanks to Admiral Ahab for the NRA-ILA document links.

idahobob said...: Hard to believe that DoD would reverse a policy.

But....since it seems that they have, we had better stock up on all the brass that we can afford, before they have another change of heart.

Actually, that is EXACTLY what I was about to post! This tactic, in fact, IS an attempt to see how awake we gunnies are. Last year, there was a case in Tennessee where they put "Gun Registration" and "Sex Offender Registration" at the same booth in the county court. That was another attempt to see how we would react to such a subtle aggressive act. In the Tennessee case, gun owners reacted, they petitioned, and raised many angry voices in unison. As a result, the clowns who proposed the idea STFU and ran away, for now.

The brass destruction case is another "subtle" attempt to test how smart we are. After all, the whole thing does not resemble anything malicious to the layman. It is "just the the military doing theor thing". However, we did spot the malicious intent behind it, and reacted accordingly. Now they realize that we are awake, so they will probably settle for another period of propaganda and media-opium dispensing, to try and get the people addicted and asleep again. CONSTANT VIGILANCE, folks, CONSTANT VIGILANCE. Right now it is a big propaganda chess campaign being played by the elitists. The game is to see how many people take either side. Never let them fool you, ever.

Now if y'all excuse me, I am gonna go stock up on more brass.; March 18, 2009 at 1:23 PM

Not so kooky to me. I kinda wondered if this was a trial balloon going up.; March 18, 2009 at 5:23 PM

What might we anticipate is next?; March 18, 2009 at 9:07 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
